It took a long for me to really come around to HD, the first HDtv I bought in late 2007 was only 720p and was honestly kind of a piece of crap, I remember never being as impressed by the picture quality as I expected to be.
However in early 2011 I bought my first 1080p television and that was much, much better.
Consequently though I hung onto my old CRT television which I still use for standard def consoles like the PS2.
